The power of the Lord’s Prayer is, if we pray it, we find ourselves in a place of surrender.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done.

The Lord’s Prayer inverts the liturgy of the kingdom of self (David Benner, Desiring God’s Will).

We need subversive prayers. We need our worlds turned on end. We need our little kingdoms overturned. Praying the Lord’s Prayer is a prayer of death… to self. It is a choice to live in willing surrender.
